Facing Curtis’ humility, Joseph also politely exchanged, and smiled and sent out an invitation, “Since we have already met, why not have breakfast together? I don’t think Rick will mind. Copy the URL and visit http://%77. %77%77%2e%76%6f%64%74%77%2e%63%6f%6d"

Rick smiled and waved his hands again and again, "Hey, Joe, I'm the master, okay? I've invited Curtis to stay. You don't need to be there to show kindness."

Curtis was also amused by the ensemble of Rick and Joseph. "It seems that I can only have to be rude once. I think a piece of pancake time should be able to resolve this dispute." The humor calmed the atmosphere completely.

Rick and Joseph exchanged sights. They both knew that it was Joseph, not Rick, that Curtis was besieging here today. To be precise, they needed something that could represent Hugo’s true thoughts. Object, compared to the broker, the manager is obviously closer to Hugo's life. Therefore, with such an invitation, Curtis definitely chose to stay along the way. as predicted.

However, Curtis was destined to be disappointed. Joseph and Rick did not leak water. They ate breakfast for nearly three quarters of an hour. However, Joseph did not disclose any words, and still maintained a consistent external statement, "Hugo needs recently. Rest." This made Curtis just go home.

During breakfast, they also saw Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer, but the simple breakfast was very busy.

Curtis was also a veteran in the circle. Everything went to the end, then he politely left and gave the space back to Rick and Joseph.

Without waiting for Joseph to ask questions, Rick took the initiative to say, "The news that Jim released yesterday."

This also answers Joseph's doubts: Curtis will catch the two of them for breakfast—Thomas doesn't seem to be a mere coincidence. The Hollywood information web is like a huge spider web, and many small invisible details often bring unexpected surprises. Jim Snow is Rick's first assistant-he now has two assistants. Someone goes around to ask Jim for news. After Rick's approval, Jim also releases the news.

Joseph nodded slightly, "What's the matter with Nadeep and Pfeiffer? I also saw the two agents of CAA (Innovative Artist Agency)." The topic does not seem to be connected, but it is actually Joseph. I immediately understood the purpose of Rick's release of the wind.

"It should be accurate, it depends on how much Meyer attaches importance to this project. What kind of bargaining chip I hope to get what kind of income." Rick's answer is that the bull's head is not right, and the crowd listens to the cloud. In the mist, Joseph lightly tapped his chin to show that he understood.

In fact, there is only one key word: "L.A. Confidential".

Back in time back to the Berlin Film Festival, Warner Bros. head Barry Meyer was showing off the mystery in his chest, which aroused Hugo’s interest and curiosity. Hugo was guessing that Barry was probably relying on " Los Angeles Confidential", but Hugo was not entirely sure at the time. So in the subsequent confrontation, it was revealed that the export wind was to Kevin Pence.

Kevin lived up to expectations. After inquiring about the news, the proposal of "L.A. Confidential" immediately surfaced.

It is not without reason that Barry is so confident in "L.A. Confidential". First of all, this is a very solid script. The story structure, character setting, clue arrangement and thought mining are all convincing; secondly, the script has three protagonists. , Barry hopes to be able to follow the "seven deadly sins" and "theft of fire" model to create amazing sparks with a star-studded cast; again, the background of the story tells about the 1950s in Los Angeles, which attracts Hugo The power is beyond doubt.

In Barry's view. Hugo is bound to have a keen interest in "L.A. Confidential"-in fact, the same is true. However, at the time the "Blurry Rain" tour was in full swing, Hugo almost rejected all proposals, including Steven Spielberg's best friends, so Barry had to be cautious. So Barry chose to test in Berlin.

At the very least, Barry needs to make sure that Hugo is really interested in such a proposal, not just his speculation-Hugo's style orientation in choosing the script. No one in Hollywood has dared to make an assertion with one vote.

If according to Barry's plan, the first step is to determine Hugo's interest; then meet once during the Grammys or Oscars, and directly talk to Hugo about the "L.A. Confidential" project, which further arouses Hugo's curiosity; The third step is to pass the script to Hugo, and at the same time, start persuading Rick, Joseph and others. Make sure that Hugo can take this script.

Obviously, Barry is determined to win Warner Bros.'s latest work by Hugo. He is also far more meticulous, more thoughtful, and more cautious than other competitors.

In fact, Barry can also be considered exhaustive. Hugo not only appeared at the Grammy Awards, but also attended the Oscars, even though Hugo only had one "Independence Day" in 1996. He personally did not win any nomination at the Oscars, but as a guest of honor, Hugo still became the focus of the night. Finally, Hugo awarded the Queen of the Shadows to Francis McDormand, the wife of Joel Cohen, of "Ice and Blood Storm".

If Barry's plan is followed, then things will go smoothly. At this moment, Hugo, who has finished his tour, should also appear on the crew of "L.A. Confidential". But Barry missed the most important thing: Hugo himself.

Hugo obviously did not intend to follow the steps, after he revealed his tone to Kevin. Kevin immediately started to get busy, he was pleasantly surprised to discover the "L.A. Confidential" project, and even discovered that "L.A. Confidential" has not signed a contract with Warner Bros.! In other words, although Barry is confident in the plan, he still has room for it.

Immediately, Kevin also discovered a very important message. Mark Canton and the Coen brothers got closer and closer. The Coen brothers prepared for six months of "Murder Green Toe" and began to approach Columbia Pictures infinitely. The friendship between the Coen brothers and Hugo has become Mark's biggest bargaining chip.

As a result, all the plans were suddenly messed up, and Barry’s nailed abacus was no longer full of confidence. The number of production companies willing to invest in the Coen Brothers project instantly began to increase. Curtis, who holds the right to adapt the "L.A. Confidential" script, is in his hands. Hansen also became a hot figure in a blink of an eye...More importantly, the actions of other companies have begun to increase, even if it is not "murder of Green Toe" or "L.A. Confidential", but it will be other projects. All uncertainties were infinitely magnified overnight.

As Hugo expected, there is no need for him to verify anything, and Kevin will investigate and find out. Hugo focuses on the tour, while Rick sits firmly on the Diaoyutai in Los Angeles, and he can regain the initiative by just staying still.

After a long battle, the production rights of "L.A. Confidential" are still in the hands of Warner Bros. It's just that all of Barry's calculations have been disrupted. Now he has not only increased his competitors, but also has lost the first in front of Hugo. Opportunity, lost a part of important bargaining chips, the advantage in the process of seeking cooperation is eroded, which means that Barry needs to pay more interests to seek this cooperation.

The production copyright of "Murder Green Toe" was finally won by Mark. Although the Coen brothers budget for this work was only 15 million U.S. dollars, there was no way to stop Mark from wanting to cooperate with Hugo. The Coen brothers also agreed. Hugo never demanded the remuneration of independent films, and this matter is not a secret in Hollywood.

It can be said that after Kevin messed up the whole situation, he did not get any benefit, but for him, it can also be said to be a victory-the embarrassment of the competitors is his pleasure. More importantly, in the fierce competition, a project came from behind, stood out, and became the focus of everyone's attention.

This project called "Boogie. Nights" had not been noticed before. The original script was to invite Leonardo DiCaprio to star, but Leonardo’s "Titanic" "The closing time was pushed again and again, and in desperation, Leonardo could only reluctantly give up. However, when he learned that Hugo was choosing a new script, Leonardo did not hesitate to introduce the script to Hugo.

With Leonardo's escort, Hugo was still on the tour, "Boogie Night" came into Hugo's sight for the first time, which made Barry and Mark both want to vomit blood with anger. It is rumored that after seeing the script of "Booji Ye", Hugo actually liked it very much. Even during the busy schedule of the tour, Hugo also read the whole story twice ~ www.novelhall.com ~ planning to wait until the end of the tour. Just meet the creator of the script in person.

After such news came out, Hollywood immediately fryed the pot-this is Kevin's real victory. Once Hugo signed a contract with Boogie Nights, then Barry and Mark worked hard for so long and were in vain.

What's more interesting is that the production copyright of Boogie Nights has been bought, and the buyer is a new film company. The "seven deadly sins" of the cooperation between Xinxian and Hugo have been talked about so far. This time, Xinxian is obviously not willing to miss such a good opportunity. Naturally, it is vigorously promoted-although Xinxian is a branch of Warner Bros., it has the management rights. Without interfering with each other, they can still be regarded as two different companies, so the competition between them also burst out infinite sparks.

In the face of such a situation, Barry’s secret plan has gone bankrupt. What’s worse is that he must pay more to seek cooperation that is bound to win this time, otherwise Hugo may have an oversight with "Booji Ye" or " "Murder Green Toe" signed first.

Therefore, Barry put forward a proposal that Rick is difficult to refuse: Let Hugo become the producer of "L.A. Confidential"! There is no doubt that this will be another breakthrough in Hugo's career, which is also an important reason for the situation at breakfast today. (To be continued.
